Changing over Corapeake, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I noticed a plume following a bright light and as the bright light rose the plume got bigger (not unlike the rocket plume on TV from California) and the light separated into 2 lights and one went approximately 1 mile in front of the other then they traveled the same speed and then they left the plume when 2 more lights appeared about 15 to 20 miles behind the first 2 then 2 more lights appeared ahead of the last 2 lights and then they disappeared and then reappeared several times. They were all going the same speed until they went out of sight. They traveled southwest to northeast and looked like satellites but to low and to high to be jets.

Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
